- Managing AI Agents Like New Hires Raises Accountability Concerns
TechNews reports that Dot Compliance CEO Doron Sitbon recommends treating enterprise AI agents like new hires, with defined roles, high-value pilot deployments, style guides, human escalation paths, performance reviews, and manager training. A Boston University and BCG Henderson Institute experiment involving 1,261 managers found that calling an agent an “AI employee” reduced managers’ error detection by 16% and weakened their sense of responsibility for the output. The analysis says the new-hire metaphor may aid onboarding and oversight, but final accountability should remain with humans.
科技新报 · 🔥 0 - ServiceNow launches AI Passport agent credentials and EmployeeWorks tools
ServiceNow announced on October 15 new governance controls for AI agents and updates to its EmployeeWorks portal that let employees build specialized assistants and automate routine tasks without writing code. The governance centerpiece is AI Passport, a cryptographically signed credential defining an agent's identity, permitted actions, accessible systems and accountable owner, issued through AI Control Tower and checked as work executes. Nvidia is a design and launch partner, linking AI Passport with its Open Agent Safety Platform, including the OpenShell secure runtime and Sentry security framework. ServiceNow said AI Passport, shadow AI detection and AI Cost Management will be available later this quarter, while the new EmployeeWorks assistants, routines, ToolSmith and Conversations API are in controlled availability.
SiliconANGLE AI · 🔥 0 - Data center executives say power and skilled labor, not chips, now limit AI buildout
Speaking at Bloomberg's New Economy Forum in New Delhi, executives from NTT Data, Brookfield and Infosys said electricity and skilled labor — not chips — now limit how fast AI data centers can be built. NTT Data CEO Abhijit Dubey called talent "the bottleneck nobody talks about," said a US electrician now earns about $200,000, and said sourcing the right equipment can take as long as 42 weeks. The report also said grid connections in congested European markets run to a decade or more — about ten years in Amsterdam, with Frankfurt waiting on upgrades until the 2030s — and that Denmark's grid operator paused new connections in March with roughly 60GW of projects queued against peak demand near 7GW. The panel split on money: Dubey said capital is not an issue, a day after Broadcom's CEO said capital might be the biggest constraint, while Brookfield's Connor Teskey said demand will outstrip supply past the end of the decade and rejected the bubble case; hours earlier the IMF's Global Financial Stability Report called similar revenue commitments wrong-way risk.
Bloomberg Technology · 🔥 0 - NTT Data nears deal to build 500MW Osaka data center for Anthropic
Nikkei Asia reported that NTT Data Group is in the final stages of talks to build a data center in Osaka for Anthropic with up to 500 megawatts of power intake capacity, which would make it one of Japan's largest. Construction alone could cost up to ¥1 trillion (about $6.3 billion), and the two companies aim to sign a deal by the end of March 2027, with part of the site possibly opening as early as 2028, according to the report. Both NTT Data and Anthropic declined to comment to Nikkei, and the reports say the project would initially rely on on-site generation such as fuel cells because drawing 500 MW from the grid would take time.
